Subject:Upper control arm woes
From:thomas LaPointe

Well, finally got back to Rustfalia tonight to see if I could finish the
drivers side upper control arm. I have installed another unit from a list
member (thank you), and it it is in place, but does not behave like the
passenger side. when I tighten it down it does not "fall down smoothly upon
lifting and letting go" like the other side. it makes a Clunking noise when
loosened. The Bentley is not real specific about how to adjust this, and I
am really getting tired of looking at this thing!  I have included a link to
Photobucket showing how it looks now..any advice is appreciated. thanks
